For example, God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21). God also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3). He orders another attack and the killing of “all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses” (Joshua 6). In Judges 21, He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married. When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife! Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody! In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.
The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9).

There are no innocent people.
If you choose to believe any of the Bible, why not believe all of it?
God sent His Son from heaven, so all could receive the gift of eternal life

When I read your out of context description you present a strong case in support of the existence of the Biblical character called Satan, or the Devil.
His specialty also is misrepresenting God and slandering Him.
If you believed that God became a man and suffered on a cross for your sins, you would begin to understand.
Let me ask you this:
If you think these things are so, and if God wrote the Bible, why would He cast Himself in such a bad light?

If you really study the whole subject and follow it all the way thru, you would know none were innocent, but were following an evil path. And there is the law factor, telling you what not to do, or else be disciplined. Just like law books today, you don't do things that are crimes just because it is wrote down.

Because god is not a loving god as people make him out to be. god suffers from bi-polar. And in terms of the bible being evil, just look at the book of Leviticus that all tells you how evil the book is.

whoa! news to me... and I say this with the utmost sarcasm.
ponder this if you feel your mind is open:
